New pipe smokers want to know if a corn cob pipe is a good investment. How long do they last? How often do you need to re-purchase one? I share my experience on this subject with you, the YTPC.
I don't mud cobs until I have completely (naturally) burned the stem "overhang" flush. I do not believe in modding them. I let the stem burn smooth naturally. Then, only if necessary will I mud them. I respect the 6 year olds, they're cute. I have a MM legend (paid 3.99 for it) that I bought for a camping trip in 1993. Still smokes flawlessly. Not mudded. Gets smoked at least once a week. I've replaced the stem a handful of times, but the cob itself is perfect.
I love my cobs. Had them about 5 years now. I mud them as well and changed the stems to forever acrylic stems. Great video, thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas
